![Ed remembers his son, Kip](https://hospiceuk-files-staging.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/styles/video_cta_small/public/2022-12/iremember-2022-kip-hospiceuk.jpeg?VersionId=EC0MEpjnE1lIivS7jBapgedyBmWd6Dm5&h=d1cb525d&itok=LBHYzf3H)
Ed remembers Kip
"It’s wonderful when people talk about Kip. It lets us know that they remember him too. Tears follow, but that’s such a small price to pay. The memories are so real, so precious, and felt as deeply as losing him."

Toby remembers his dad
"Dad always carried some humour with him. I miss days like the one in this photo. Too often grief is something kept inside and pushed away as we have to carry on with the normal fast-pace of life."

Ike remembers Mimi
"I didn't want to give it a name. I wanted to hold on. But I understand now.
I remember telling the children, ‘I don't know what's going to happen, but we're going to try our best. Mummy is a soldier. She's a warrior. And she's showing us how to be warriors."
![Maria remembers her wife](https://hospiceuk-files-staging.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/styles/video_cta_small/public/2022-12/iremember-2022-maria-hospiceuk.jpeg?VersionId=r_mA8sLQSaza2anKy0zWHYx7EwQz1W_7&h=d1cb525d&itok=TELOLda1)
Maria remembers her wife
"Her smile always blew me away. When she was playing with the kids she always smiled. She loved us all so much. I miss her."
![Steven, remembered by his friend Stephen](https://hospiceuk-files-staging.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/styles/video_cta_small/public/2022-12/iremember-2022-steven-hospiceuk.jpeg?VersionId=CqR1R_VrTzBFG5dups8tTrjVWPi9_Fqt&h=d1cb525d&itok=oY3AqhmN)
Stephen remembers Steven
"It was a shock losing Steven. Death and funerals never really came up in conversation. I certainly wish it had, life really is too short. I feel so privileged and lucky to have shared so many wonderful moments with him. I thought I’d feel sad having my photo taken next to him again, but I actually feel great elation."
![Rubina remembers her Abba and Amma](https://hospiceuk-files-staging.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/styles/video_cta_small/public/2022-12/iremember-2022-amma-abba-rubina-hospiceuk.jpeg?VersionId=BqpNEZhycVqcBuywo2QV9Fn7nkj.vgR3&h=d1cb525d&itok=8AFFzxVe)
Rubina remembers her Abba and Amma
"Abba (dad) and Amma (mum), not a day goes by when I don't miss you. My soul is at peace now because I finally understand, your death has not separated me from you, instead it has reconnected us. It has reconnected me to myself."
![Kevin and Jack remember Bob](https://hospiceuk-files-staging.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/styles/video_cta_small/public/2022-12/iremember-2022-kevin-hospiceuk.jpeg?VersionId=YOayHyJ2.DmR0waqd.88dypL7G9daIlQ&h=d1cb525d&itok=CkZnphsa)
Kevin and Jack remember Bob
"We all miss him and his wisdom so very, very much. It seems apt that #IRemember coincides with Armistice week. This will be the first year that there is another hero missing although I know my dad would be so proud that he is remembered."

Aongola remembers his Auntie and Grandma
"The common denominator of every memory and moment I spent with them is laughter. They taught me to seek joy and laughter in every moment, however difficult things may be. And I base my life resilience on that."
